Become Myself

When the lights go out
For seconds or days
I sit tight, gasping for air
Praying for someone to take me away
I can not survive this day

But the pain subsides
And the fears collide
While fighting their way to death
The love imbues me
And the life subdues me
When I become myself

Hardly comparable
To the monster I've become
I lay my weary eyes to rest
Only to wake up with pains in my head
This world just wants me dead

But the pain subsides
And the tears collide
Washing it all away
The love imbues me
And the life subdues me
When I become myself

I cannot resist
To make this mistake
My world comes crumbling down
I lose myself in disregard
For those who've fought long and hard

But the pain subsides
And the tears collide
Washing it all away
The love imbues me
And the life subdues me
When I become myself

I've become myself
Yet another day
Draining the pain away
Loving life
And finding my way
I'd love to be able to stay
I dig in deep
But the jump is to steep
I lay down and begin to pray
This monster I've become
Needs to be slain
Until I become myself
